Mancini has said himself that he understands the need for a big striker in the team. Benjani is A: not top quality B: an injury waiting to happen. IF RSC is carrying an injury you can be sure that we'll end up losing Benjani as well; that's how it happens. Ade could be out of the game for ages, we don't know.
What is the point in spending £200M on players, sacking Hughes because we want top 4 then risking the whole thing on RSC's injury, Ade's mental state Robbie's botheredness & Bellamy's dodgy knees? What if Tevez gets injured or loses form?
Ade is supposed to be our No1 striker & he's a doubt so IF the backup, RSC, is genuinely injured we should sign a striker pronto. If he comes back then fine, he fights for his place. So many managers fuck this kind of thing up re strikers. Royle did at the start of a season, Goat got injured & we went down, Hughes did & we missed the UEFA Cup/top 6, sort it out.
